No need to add handlers to nic_vf_cmd_msg_handler[].
It will run the path,
if (i == ARRAY_SIZE(nic_vf_cmd_msg_handler))
	err = hinic_msg_to_mgmt(&pfhwdev->pf_to_mgmt, HINIC_MOD_L2NIC,
				cmd, buf_in, in_size, buf_out,
				out_size, HINIC_MGMT_MSG_SYNC);
right? or if not please show the related code.
